A charming cinematic poem based on the director's own childhood memory. Nikita, reluctant to go to his flute lesson, wanders about and gets caught by local bullies and locked up in an abandoned hut. Nikita's fear gradually gets conquered by his curiosity until he hears the imaginary melody of sunlight along with his flute.
